n this guide, I will share how you can use your Android phone as a Kali Linux

machine to find a cell phone location on Google Maps. You can also navigate to the
current location of the phone. And all this can be done secretly, without letting
the user know that you actually found their GPS location.

This guide is on the demand of my dear audience and in response to my previous


tutorial on location tracking. Thanks for such an overwhelming response. If you
haven’t read or watched the video guide, you are missing something. Watch it now!

DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only. It’s a proof of concept
that granting location access to websites and apps can be dangerous for your
privacy. Any misuse of the guide can cause serious trouble in your country. Do not
use this to malign someone or spy on someone. You are responsible for your actions.

Never allow access to your location or respond to prompts if appears while


accessing websites, especially untrusted sites such as porn sites and blogs that
share pirated content.

STEPS TO FIND PHONE LOCATION USING ANDROID
So what you need is a PC with Kali Linux installed. You can install it on an old
laptop or on a virtual machine such as Virtualbox or VMware. You may also install
Kali Linux on an Android phone. There’s a video guide also that helps you set up
Kali Linux on top of Android OS without root. It’s very easy!

STEP 1: CLONE THE ‘SEEKER’ GITHUB REPOSITORY


Seeker, developed by thewhiteh4t, helps accurately locate smartphones location
using social engineering.

Seeker hosts a clone or fake web page on ‘built-in PHP server’ and uses ‘Serveo’ by
default to generate a URL. You can send this URL to the target phone number with a
socially engineered message. When the user opens the web page URL, the website asks
for ‘Location Permission’. If the target phone or user allows the permission, you
get the following location details about the phone number and device:

Longitude
Latitude
Accuracy
Altitude (not always)
Direction (if the user is moving)
Speed (if the user is moving)
Besides location information about the cell phone, you also get sensitive ‘Device
Information’ without any permissions. This means even if the user doesn’t grant
permission for location access, merely visiting the URL will provide you with
following details about the target mobile phone number:

Operating System
Platform
Number of CPU Cores
Amount of RAM – Approximate Results
Screen Resolution
GPU information
Browser Name and Version
Public IP Address
IP Address Reconnaissance
That is why you should never click on any random links or allow critical
permissions such as Location or storage etc.

Once you have Kali Linux installed, open the ‘Terminal‘ window.

choose USerland
On Android Kali Linux, open the UserLAnd app and tap on Kali. Then choose
‘UserLAnd‘ and enter the password you entered at the time of setting up Kali Linux
on your Android device.
